This time round im really affected.
It just seems that as days go by it just starts to grow,
and its getting deeper and stronger in me.
Many times ive told myself, maybe its not meant to be,
maybe i should just it let go.
But i cant help holding on,
because it has already become something thats been in my heart for so long.
Can you do it?
Maybe the time isnt right.
Its been a long long time since i updated and so many things have happened over these few weeks! Musique pour TouJours 2008 has successfully ended, and CO camp 08 is over after our tiring week of planning. Together with these, my chapter in TJCO has also came to a closure (:
24 May 2008. Just looking at the date itself brings back so many memories. It spells all of our hard work, all our passion for music and for tjco. Although the concert might not have been our very best performance, but what i cherish even more was the effort that every single one of us put in to make this concert a success. The many practices, countless comm meetings, tired faces. But still, we made it happen.
After a year in tjco, im finally stepping down. Somehow i dont know how to fully express how much this pdp has given to me, its just, more than words.
I'll miss those times hanging out in the co room, our favourite place. I'll miss staying back in school for co practices. I'll miss playing yangqin with tjco. Throughout this entire year in tjco, my skills have really improved alot, and ive learnt many many things. But i know wherever i go, the feeling wont be the same anymore.
A place I call 'home'.
How i wish i could relive my days in TJCO. Back to those days when i just came into the orchestra, when i first stepped into the CO room. When we were still practising Takelamagan and Xiu Lv De Hong Zhong, the numerous trips to SCH for rehearsals for SYF and SYF presentation. The few seconds of anxiousness before our first scream for Gold with Honours. Stayover for Sports Carnival. CO camp 07. Practices for concert 08, all the ups and downs. Releasing all our wishes together with our balloons at Mardi Gras. Musique pour TouJours 2008. My last CO camp.
Something ill always remember:
"Bian hao 5
Dan Ma Xi Chu Ji Xue Yuan
Temasek Junior College
Gold with Honours."

Thank you tjco, for letting me fall in love with music all over again.
